Abstract

The present invention provides a handlebar tape attached to the handlebar of the bicycle. The handlebar tape comprises a body layer, an elastic layer, a connecting layer, and an adjoined layer. The body layer has a first surface and a second surface. The elastic layer is fixed onto the second surface. The connecting layer is fixed onto the elastic layer. The adjoined layer has a third surface and a fourth surface. The adjoined layer is fixed onto the connected layer, wherein the fourth surface of the adjoined layer is adhesive. When the adjoined layer is wrapped around the surface of an object, the handlebar tape is capable of being firmly attached to the object.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A handlebar tape, comprising:
 a body layer, having a first surface and a second surface;   an elastic layer, being fixed onto the second surface of the body layer;   a connecting layer, being fixed onto the elastic layer; and   an adjoined layer, having a third surface and a fourth surface, the third surface of the adjoined layer being fixed onto the connecting layer;   wherein the fourth surface of the adjoined layer is adhesive, so that the handlebar tape is capable of being firmly attached to an object when the adjoined layer is wrapped around a surface of the object.   
     
     
         2 . The handlebar tape as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the handlebar tape has a first central thickness and a first peripheral thickness, and the first central thickness is greater than the first peripheral thickness. 
     
     
         3 . The handlebar tape as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the body layer further has a second central thickness and a second peripheral thickness, and the second central thickness is greater than the second peripheral thickness. 
     
     
         4 . The handlebar tape as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the body layer has a first width and the elastic layer has a second width, and the first width is greater than the second width.
